Victoria's pov

"Happy birthday to you!"

Caleb grunted as I landed on him with a thud and wrapped him in a bone crushing hug.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy biiiirrrtthhdaaaaaay! " I repeated as I gave him a huge kiss on his cheek.

"I can't wait for my birthday to come" I heard Luka mumble as he sat on the opposite couch. With a short laugh, I hopped off Caleb and sat beside Luka.

"Thanks Tori," Caleb said with a chuckle. "I'm grateful for all the love toda-"

"Happy birthday uncle Caleb! " He was tackled again by Zoey after she emerged from thin air it seemed.

"Thanks Zozo" He gently kissed her head as she cringed at the nickname.

"I made this for you, but you only get to keep it if you find a new nickname for me"

"No promises there Zozo"

She flashed him a toothless grin nonetheless and handed him a paper that seemed to have a painting on it.

Caleb's laughter immediately stopped as he stared at the picture with surprise, adoration and awe all in one. Ashley, who was beside him, had the same expression as they gaped at the picture.

"Zoey, you made this?"

"Yup" She beamed, then her face suddenly changed to hurt. "You-you don’t like it?"

"Yes Zoey of course I like it" Caleb gushed as he pulled her in another tight hug. "I love it actually! You're so talented"

"She always had an artistic hand, so I got her all the supplies she needed to grow" This came from Daisy as she entered the living room. "And happy birthday Caleb" She gave him a hug when she sat beside him.

"You didn't make a mistake, and thank you Daisy"

The picture finally passed to me, and I gasped in shock when I saw it. It was a painting of her with Caleb's brown wolf, her hand resting on his nozzle. She even caught his white ears and paws.
